Now that Pluto is not a planet, I should get credit for that question I missed back in grade school when I put 8!
Also, since they can just change the number of planets like that, a few of us took a vote during our lunch consortium and redefined the term obesity. Now you have to weigh at least 450 pounds to be considered obese. So what if most of the “professionals” weren’t there — apparently it didn’t matter to this group of astronomers and yet it “counts”. So ours counts too!
Maybe we’ll have to vote on a few other things, too… Let’s see, for starters, what about :
- shorten the work week to 32 hours.
- change the food groups to something more realistic (search for our post called “the food groups”).
- which TV channels in our cable package get “voted off” and what we get to replace them with.
- all work meetings over 30 minutes must supply cookies.
I’m sure there’s a lot more issues we can vote on. Who knew it was so easy to change things? I foresee a lot of similar votes to make the world a better place.

As part of the inner circle of voting movers and shakers, I vote that political correctness should be banned. Oh, and I vote that politicians that cave under political pressure rather than voting for what they know is right should be immediately removed from office and replaced by someone with integrity. All in favor say “I”.

What’s a consortium?

I vote that we allow gaming breaks at work! We must have a Madden challenge or some such thing…

Who cares what a consortium is! This idea is ridiculous. Who would vote for people in my party if political correctness is eliminated? How could we ever pass evil, foolish, short-sighted legislation if our legislatures didn’t cave to special interest groups? I vote “Nay”!

Since you weren’t there for the consortium, Howard, your vote is duly noted but nevertheless, rejected. Thank you for your time.

The chairmanship of the Lunch Consortium should be mine, but it was stolen in Florida in 2000.

I second the gaming breaks at work! I feel that, my brotha’!
